Jobs figure can't possibly be true

The recent claim that President Barack Obama has created 8 million new jobs seems untrue.

The recent claim that President Barack Obama has created 8 million new jobs seems untrue.

If there were 8 million more people working today than when Obama took office, the country would be celebrating. But millions of former workershave stopped looking for jobs. The low unemployment rate is bogus, phony, not of the real world.

Ask the average American who sees himself and his neighbors underemployed or unemployed whether the low unemployment rate impresses him. The president and the Democrats can spin away; citizens know bull when they hear it.
